What happened? Did the group delete their uploads?Was this another title that was being done by Asmodeus before? It's really annoying when we can tell.
EDIT: Yep, it was. Fuckin' figures.
They got banned from mangadex so all their uploads are gone with them, staff locked the group too so no one can upload their shit eitherWhat happened? Did the group delete their uploads?

Don't forget the most important part: why they got banned.They got banned from mangadex so all their uploads are gone with them, staff locked the group too so no one can upload their shit either
Ty for the explanationDon't forget the most important part: why they got banned.
Basically, in the wake of the mass DMCA strike last year, MD's staff has taken a more hard-line approach to groups making money off of scanslation. Thing is, what publishers hate even more than piracy is bootlegging. And permanently paywalling chapters counts as such. PLus, MD's staff doesn't like that groups like Asmodeus bait people here by only ever uploading a few chapters here and there, and keeping the rest behind their paywalls.
Asmo got warned about doing this, but they doubled-down on it, so the group as a whole got the boot and their uploads were purged because they don't want to attract the publisher's attention. Again.
Oh, is that why? Then good, fuck 'em. I hate groups that pull that shit.Don't forget the most important part: why they got banned.

No. If it was a DMCA nuke, you’d see the “unavailable chapters” tickbox now.did the old chapter got purge?
Thanks for explaining, good reason to ban them ngl. I checked out their site too and it’s up to chapter 5 but behind a paywall. Kinda fucked up since MD was 2 chapters behind. I understand that they probably want to recoup costs from buying the chapters (doubt they cost much anyways tbh) and labor, but I don’t like the idea of content that is borderline pirated in the first place being used for profit by unofficial translators. Obviously some series never get picked up or it takes years to happen, and in those cases I wouldn’t mind translators setting up something where people can just donate as appreciation for their labor.Don't forget the most important part: why they got banned.
